Twilight Series Opinion Article

My Opinion on the Movie

Twilight must be one of the most popular teenage books of all time and not only was it such a hit for the teenagers, but it was going well for various adults. The main gender that reads the series would be female, but it is widely read by males, too.

The movie was very well done. I thought it captured the main facts of the story. The actors were excellent, and all of the characters suited the ones that were imagined by millions of people worldwide. It really drew me in, caught my attention, and not once could I take my eyes off of the screen.

Criticism:
I think they rushed the movie a bit. I understand they may have been trying to keep it shorter and not painful to endure, and that they were trying to sum up all 498 pages of the book. I would have prefered it to be a bit longer and capture more that the book had said. I also found it to be a bit choppy and jumped from scene to scene too fast, there wasn't as much 'fluff' as I would have liked. Although, I did find the choppiness somewhat suiting to the movie.

Of course there are always improvements, and the book is always more detailed, so the disappointment was minimal for me. My friends cried, my facial expressions changed with the mood of the movie. There are definitely a lot more good things to say about it than bad.

Positive:

I cannot possibly contain my excitement, or how wonderful the movie was in an article using simple words. The movie was great! They effectively used flashbacks, and included some of the favourite lines from the book, and included most of what I was looking forward to. I thought it was well done, and I know I'm not the only one who is waiting for New Moon in 2010!!

Leave a comment, tell us what you thought about the movie! Were you impressed? Was there anything you wished they would've or wouldn't have included? Is it your favourite?

My answer - I was not impressed. I was thrilled, enthralled, blown away!
I wish they had included more about the Cullens, maybe expanded upon more of the main things, and added some of the fluffy unnecissary stuff, just to add to it. Because I would have sat there for seven hours if they made it that long! I was happy with everything, but I wish they might have followed the book even closer than they already did. Thorough enjoyment, though.
It is absolutely one of my all time favourites, and I highly recommend it!

I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it, and let us all know how you felt!

I luved the movie!! robert and kristen were incredible together.Especially rob.He impressed me the most and did such an amazing job.i wish there were more conversations between edward and bella though but either than that it was very much worth the wait.

Perhaps I would have enjoyed the movie more if I were ten years younger (I'm 24). The movie was a wonderful B movie, but in the hands of a different director it could have been amazing. I nominate Alfonso Cuaron for director of New Moon.

i think as a movie it is great very great !
but the book is so much better !
for noww i have seen it twice already ... there are some detailzz but i liked it ...
the truht is that it is more than i expected!

It was one of my favorite movies I have ever seen. I see a lot of movies, and this movie just blew everything away. Rob was amazing. You could actually see and feel his emotions with him. I was afraid that my best friend and I had hyped up the movie too much and when we actually got to see it we would be disappointed. We bought our tickets 4 weeks ago for the midnight showing Thursday night and we def. WERE NOT disappointed. It was everything and more than I thought it would be. I saw it again with my husband tonight and he was equally thrilled. He even said it was one of the best movies he had ever seen. As for the age I'm 22 and my husband is 23 and my best friend is 25 and we all loved it. I think that some people just don't understand it. I have read the book and I think that they portrayed the most important lines from the book, and made it a little more technology based. I thought it had something for everyone. I always find atleast a couple parts to a movie boring or stupid, but not one minute was I disappointed or totally into it. I can't decide what my favorite part was because I loved it all. I'm glad that they made Bella and Edward the more intense scenes because I feel like Edward is really struggling to balance the part that wants to kill her and the part that wants to love her. Bella is just a 17 year old girl in love for the first time. She doesn't care, she just wants to be with him. Edward is portraying a 108 year old vampire who is just stuck in a 17 year old body so he is older and wiser, and he knows that everything is not so cut-and-dry. I thought it was wonderful and I def. recommend it to both people who have read the book and people who haven't
